Okay can you give us more specific questions. like by what we're studying, do you mean what kind of classess we need to graduate and go into university or what we're currently studying outselves? ... something with more detail. ;)

If you give a specific set of questions I'm sure people will be more than willing to answer

I live in the US.

In the US, we attend school from K(kindergarten) to 12 grade; those are the years the government requires. Some may attend pre-school, which is before K. Others will go on for a higher education after 12th grade and attend a university. At the university level, there are three main degrees people obtain: bachelors, m.b.a, and PhD. there are other courses of study, but it'd probably help if you asked more specific questions.

perhaps that information will start you off?
 
for Canada we have to go to school for 13 years: 9 in elementary and 4 in high school. for high school we have to get a certain amount of credits before we can graduate. I think there is a total of 30. Plus we have to do a certain amount of hours of community service, I think 20 hours (I could be wrong). but the credit system is as follows by grade:

grade 9
english
math
science
gym/music/art (must choose 2 of the 3)
french
career studies/government
history

grade 10
english
math
science
french (or another second language)
history
plus three electives, like art, music, gym, law, media arts, I.T. in business or computers

grade 11
english
math: functions and relations or relations
and 6 electives: art, music, gym, bio, chem, phsyics, computer engineering, business, law, accounting, media studies or drama

grade 12
english
and 5 electives:art, musc, gym, bio/ap bio, chem, physics/ap physics, computer engineering, law, bustiness, media studies, accounting, drama, advanced relations and calculus/ap calculus, geometry and discrete math.

There might be more electives, I just named a few.

in elementry school, I don't know to much cause I didn't really pay attention to how it worked, i'd just show up and do my work.

That isnt necessarily the order of which you have to take things in Canada, but you have to get the basic courses, (2 sciences, one of which is in grade 11/12, three maths, one of which is in grade 11/12, one PE, one second language (generally french)..etc)

yeah thanks, i will tray to come up wite more specifc questions.
and a big thanks to fong_11. that will help me alot
 
Hmm... I live in Ohio in the US, and we only need 21 credits to graduate. 4 English, 3 math (including algebra and geometry), 3 science (including bio and chem), 3 social sciences (including US history, world history, and gov.), 1/2 credit health, 3/4ths credit gym (don't ask me why, it's a weird amount that doubles to a year and a half), 1/2 credit computers, and 1 arts/preforming arts credit. But if that's all the credits you're taking, you're really a slacker. By the end of my junior year, I'm going to have 18.75. And then there's the 6 or 7 classes I'll end up taking next year.
 
wow we don't have required community service hours. although most college bound students end up having SOME community service before they graduate, simply because it looks good on the application for the colleges they want to apply to. Of course, others actually participate in community service because its a good thing to do and makes you feel good...
